In this episode of Chakravyuh, Gaurav Sawant speaks with the founding director of the CPOST, Robert Pape on the reported deployment of US Marines and 82nd Airborne troops to West Asia. Pape describes the situation as an “escalation trap,” warning that tactical gains against Iran may not translate into strategic success. He cautions that ground operations could trigger a prolonged war of attrition, rising oil prices, and wider global instability. He also highlights risks of terrorism beyond the region, including potential threats to US and global security, as the conflict expands both geographically and militarily.
